Well, today I started on my liquids ( the day before surgery)...but i cheated this mornimg, i see i am going to have a hard time. I just ate a little something for breakfast, but i went to the store this morning and bought some liquids like lemonade, and jello and some popcicles. :faint: :help: :think YUM, i wonder if i can make it, well i can i have been praying for God to help me through this, with my hunger, because i know i am going to be hungry. I still can not believe this day has came so fast. My family is supportive in a way, its mostly my step mom who is very supportive. My dad at first was kinda rude i think, he doesn't think i should have surgery i just need to exercise, but i am goint ot admit it i am lazy, but i think different things are made for different people so it just matters what you think is good for yourself. i was kinda sad at first the way my dad was treating me on this subject, but i had to think about it and i am not doing this to make him happy i am doing this for me not him, and as long as i approve of it it really should not matter what anyone else has to say about. I am hungry right now i am having some jello but since i hardly eat jello its hard for me to eat it i guess i really never thought about how hard this would be, well i did think about it, but now i really feel what i am about to go through since i am actually experiencing it. my step mom said it can all be a mind thing so i am going to really pray alot and act as if i were fasting that might help in a way not sure. Well i guess i will go around and see what others have to say this morning. have a great day :mad: 1 MORE DAY and some hours :mad: :eek:

Hi i have a question for you, i am getting my band next qwednesday only 5 more days YEAH!!!, but where you were saying that the incisions were itchy, did you use anything to stop the itching, or are we not suppose to put anything on them. thanks:)

Hi this is not being rude I just wanted to let you know there are 14 year old who have the band, this is just to let you know, actually there are about two that I have met on here. Well one is 15 now.

Ok I read alot of entries today, and I am getting more excited. I have joined a club, and found a group that is around my age. Well I have written three times today and I am really happy someone had referred me to this site. It was this lady in the waiting room, she was telling me something about her lap band and said she went to this site for advice or suggestions. I thank her, I didn't catch her name but if you remember me by the picture, just wanted to say hi and thank you so so much. I am actually going to refer this to this lady who sits next to me. I think its so weird, but this lady she sits next to me in my math class and she just got her band about 4 weeks ago, and she shares with me about the lap band, she actually going to give my a list to shop for. She says i have advantage to know someone who already went through it cause she did not have anyone to talk to. Ok I guess that is it for now...man i know i am excited i have been on this site all day and have written in my journal three times ...OK SIX MORE DAYS!!!!:clap2::mad:

Hi...I live in the Cypress area...290 & Huffmeister. Have not add my surgery yet, going to happen next week, on Wednesday.

Hello All, I would like to join this club, I am 20, not married no children, right now I attend College at Art Institute. Right now I am a 16-18 size and I am 5'7 at 223. This is the highest i have ever been. It does run in my family on both sides. Plus I want to loose this weight now before waiting too long. I get my band on next Wednesday, I am very excited and nervous all at the same time. I read alot of the replies on here and it seems everything will be ok. Just a little pain to deal with for the first few weeks. Well I hope to get to know you'll a little better. I will be asking lots of questions. but ok thanks. 223current/150idealweight

Hello all, I was just wanting to know if there were any youngsters in here with the lapband, i like getting advice from all ages but was just wondering if teen to young adults have similar effcts. ok thanks

ME TOOO!!! Thanks for starting this one, hopefully more will come along cause I would like to ask others among my age, of there effects of the band

ok thanks, i was just wondering what effects did you'll have after the surgery, like i notice older patients than us have gas pains did any of you have them.

Well Hello everyone, just here to introduce myself, well I am 20yrs old, I live in Houston, Texas. My doctor is Dr. Speigel, @TLC. I weigh now 223, @ 5'7, my goal is around 150. I get my lap band surgery next Wednesday, I went for my Pre-op yesterday. I am very excited about it, and a little nervous too. I have been reading some posts and some kinda scared me a little, but I know everyone keeps telling me that everyone is different. Well wish me luck.

yep it did.. and thanks:)

Hello, I get banded on 3/39, very excited my doctor is Dr. Speigel. Congrats on your weight lost. Thats exciting news.

hi can you tell me how to post, i have been searching around but can't find anything that will let me post a new one, i just know how to reply

Ok well next week I will be getting my lap band on, I have not really met anyone that is my age, I would like to ask some questions to a younger person. Everyone that I have asked has been older like in 30 and higher. They all tell me about there gas and how much pain there in, and I know it varies from each person hopefully I will have some luck. Well I have to be there at 5:30 in the morning I think my dad is going to take me and then Sharon is going to pick me up but I need to make sure I let the nurses or doctor know to call her cause I will probably be out of it for a little bit. I am getting butterflies just for writing it right now. I think I am going to be alot happier, I can finally just choose what ever I want to wear. I am really going to have to get use to not eating alot of food, I kinda figured it out. The lap band is just helping you, because anyone could do this diet, just follow the diet book that they give you. Well ok I have written twice already so I will be back to write tomorrow. only SIX MORE DAYS YEAH!!!!!!:wow2::eek:
